GJ phantom!

I should state that on my v2.0 board Hipros mod infact fried the vmem controller. However, bypassing the diode looks like it may meet with more success. Im picking up a new board in the morning, so i'll be able to report then what success (if any) I have. I think it may actually proove easier to use conductive paint to simply join the 2 ends of the diode. The jumpered method would give the ability to undo the mod, but if Ive figured this correctly 2.5v in bios should give around 2.85v which would be fine for day to day use. We shall find out tomorrow .

Again, nice work phantom, and to you as well Hipro5 for sussing out the starting point .
